Havent been to Tesco's yet but will give it a try soon.
Be prepared for a loooong wait to get in. Took about 30 minutes to get from Brockburn Road to the Car Parks as it was all jammed up- only 1 lane into Tescos and only 2 lanes on the roundabout and 1 lane coned off on Brockburn Road with the roadworks. You only get 7 or so car turned in one go of the traffic lights and when there is a 1/4 mile queue... I know the supermarket was needed again in the area but it really shouldn't be allowed to have been opened before the majority of the roadworks were completed- other places aren't usually allowed to because of the impact on traffic....
On the shop, it's O.K, but just another supermarket IMHO. Bit warehousey for my liking, I've been in another Tesco Extra in Peterborough which was far worse thou it was like Makro! It's O.K but I'll probably keep going to Morrisons in Paisley- Tesco is too big to be used regularly IMHO, things are quite far away at times. Apparently some of the staff it are from Coatbridge, not enough local staff to cope at the moment.
Been to the petrol station on Monday and got pissed off with the pumps. You have to press whether you want to pay at pump or kiosk which loads of people miss and they stand there for ages so you have to wait for ages to get a pump. When I did, it gushed diesel all over me and the forecourt before I'd put it in the car or before it reset the total from the last person to use it. It then just cut off on me- refused to put any more fuel in at one point! Not the most successful times, but it was cheap as hell.
Anyway evening times was reporting yesterday that the government is considering out of town retailers like Silverburn and Braehead to have either congestion charging or parking tariffs enforced due to there high car usuage which isn't sustainable compared with regular town centres.
That would only be a good thing IMHO. Paisley hit a decline when it sorted traffic out and was made less car friendly- although a bit excessive IMHO the Braehead came allong with the knockout blow.
